Weigl Group interested in Super Aguri
By Gunman April 29 2008
According to several news sites, the Weigl Group, a German automotive industry company, has made an offer for Super Aguri. Franz Josef Weigl, the group's owner, was in Spain to discuss the matter with Aguri Suzuki. Tomorrow, Aguri Suzuki will have a meeting with Honda in Japan, a meeting which will be vital for the team's future.

According to Autosport.com, the next few days will be critical for the team's survival.

The Weigl Group is based in Pottmes, Bavaria. It concentrates on metalworking, notably with transmissions and treatments for engine parts. The company was involved in F1 through the Midland team, where it was going to help MF1 in the design and construction of their gearbox.

The bad news is that this offer has been around for some months and Honda has not shown much interest in it, since Weigl doesn't seem to have the kind of money to be able to go forward with this.

Aguri Suzuki believes a deal with Weigl would be able to finance the team until the end of the season.
